Beecon is not actually rotated because I wanted to leave the most possible flexibility to the beeconer. Suppose for example you'd like a landscape layout with, say, a seaside background and all "summer-marine-themed" widgets scattered horizontally ... while a portrait layout with a winter background and all "flaky-fidgeted-cokedrinking-polar-bears" scattered vertically (I know I'm a bit maniac with this example ... but YOU, crazy graphics modders, are prone to such kind of desktop raping attacks!!! )

If you have a look at the example beecon (which is now fixed as 1 image was missing in the archive) you'll see that every orientation condition triggers the script execution, ends up returning a different exit status according to orientation and button state; beecon then takes care of indexing the correct image and displays it.

PHP Code:

#We fetch previous state from button text
c=$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT

#Deal with widget startup condition and init button 1st position
if [ "_$c" == "_" -o "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" ];then
   #Insert here commands to turn on
   #nothing if, on startup, sensor is already on
   c=1;
fi;

if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_CLICK" ];then
   if [ $c -eq 1 ]; then
      #Insert here commands to turn off
      c=0;
   else
      #Insert here commands to turn on
      c=1;
   fi; 
fi

case "$QBW_ORIENTATION_MODE" in
   "portrait")             x=644; y=292 ;xt=`expr 4 + 4 \\* $c` ;;
   "landscape (inverted)") x=644; y=155 ;xt=`expr 5 + 4 \\* $c` ;;
   "portrait (inverted)")  x=0  ; y=155 ;xt=`expr 6 + 4 \\* $c` ;;
   *)                      x=0  ; y=292 ;xt=`expr 3 + 4 \\* $c` ;;
esac

#Move beecon on screen command according to x,y calculated in 'case'
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbw$QBW_ID oh.no.more.qbw.set_position int32:$x int32:$y

#Store current status
echo $c

#Exit with correct code to show the image according to current orientation status
exit $xt

Use the code by No!No!No!Yes! for determining orientation and accordingly change the wallpaper using this command

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/<desktop-number>/bg-image -t string <path_to_image>

Modified hildon-desktop may be required though even if you use 4 screens.
Nice idea btw.Use a portrait wallpaper if in portrait orientation I might work on it tomorrow if you don't
